Abstract
Blood flow beneath a user's skin, for example, in a user's face may be visually rendered. In some aspects, a plurality of differences is determined in the intensity of pixels of a first image and the corresponding pixels of a subsequent second image. In some aspects, this plurality of differences is enhanced to accentuate a characteristic associated with the first image and the second image. The enhanced plurality of differences is visually rendered for each subsequent comparison of pixel intensity values.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a plurality of differences in intensity comprising a difference in intensity between each pixel intensity of a plurality of pixel intensities of a first image and each pixel intensity of a corresponding plurality of pixel intensities of a subsequent second image;
- generating a delta image comprising the plurality of differences in intensity;
- and
- visually rendering, for each subsequent comparison, an integrated delta image comprising a second plurality of differences, the second plurality of differences comprising the differences between the plurality of differences of the delta image and the subsequent plurality of differences of the subsequent delta image, wherein a visual contrast of the integrated delta image is enhanced to accentuate a characteristic associated with the integrated delta image.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- determining a plurality of differences in intensity comprising a difference in intensity between each pixel intensity of a plurality of pixel intensities of a first image and each pixel intensity of a corresponding plurality of pixel intensities of a subsequent second image;
- generating a delta image comprising the plurality of differences in intensity;
- enhancing a visual contrast of the delta image to accentuate a characteristic associated with the delta image;
- and
- visually rendering, for each subsequent comparison, the enhanced delta image.
A computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- determining a plurality of differences in intensity comprising a difference in intensity between each pixel intensity of a plurality of pixel intensities of a first image and each pixel intensity of a corresponding plurality of pixel intensities of a subsequent second image;
- generating a delta image comprising the plurality of differences in intensity;
- enhancing a visual contrast of the delta image to accentuate a characteristic associated with the delta image;
- and
- visually rendering, for each subsequent comparison, the enhanced delta image.
